From the Nutritionist: The hot dogs and cheese have protein for bones and teeth. Cheese also has calcium. Lean hot dogs may be made of beef, turkey or chicken. People with high blood pressure should be cuatious of the sodium content. Read labels. The cake and bread provides carbohydrates. The vegetables contain much needed vitamins and minerals. Diabetics should restrict the cake protions to a minimum since the sugar content is very high. Have a great Mississppi Mud Celebration!!!!
